Julie was our day of coordinator and handled the communication and setup with the venue and vendors flawlessly.

We booked a Month of Plus Coordination with the Best Wedding for You. And, I will say Julie was absolutely incredible. Our wedding day was everything we could have imagined and more. The only “struggle” we had was the communication when we first booked. I think this was more out of a misunderstanding on our end of how much there would be early in the process, but as we got closer and closer to the actual day, Julie was there for every step of the process.
She answered our questions and gave great feedback. She planned every part of our timeline (which was super helpful!) and she made our venue come to life on the day of the wedding with our decorations.
She made sure we were where we were needed throughout the reception and she was incredibly kind and stress free throughout it all. Everyone in our wedding party had nothing but great things to say about Julie.
Worth every penny we paid here. Would definitely recommend her for any future wedding planning!

TL;DR: Julie was an absolute lifesaver for our weddings!
We had two events: a secular ceremony and traditional Indian one and Julie provided her expertise for both. Without Julie handling our vendors, communication, and small details, our weddings would not have gone as smoothly as they did! Her communication was always prompt and she always kept our preferences in mind when making decisions on our behalf. Her expertise and professionalism went a long way when dealing with vendors and we still cherish her kindness and dedication to us (the bride and groom--now married)!
Thank you so much Julie for making our weddings so memorable and perfect!!
Detailed review:
Prior to the events, we had detailed calls with Julie and told her about vendors we already decided on as well as vendors we still needed. For those we still needed, Julie was able to provide some recommendations. Given her years of expertise in this field, she was really helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Julie handled most (if not all!) communications with the vendors and other email communications, but always kept us in the loop which was really helpful. She expertly dealt with problem vendors, folks who took too long to respond to us, and emergencies with vendors. She also would be in constant communication with our venues to ensure our vendors could arrive at the right time, provide us with a proper timeline, and take care of insurance/health and safety/etc. paperwork as needed. Again, because she has worked in this field for such a long time, she really knew what questions to ask and what details needed to be considered while we could not have even thought of this stuff!
On the day of our events, Julie and her team were at our venue and double-checking that our vendors were there and that things were going according to schedule and plan. Julie had put together timelines for both us (the wedding party) and our vendors which was incredibly helpful to ensure we stayed on track. Julie was there holding open doors, fixing the train on the bride's dress, and directing guests. She did all the work in the background so that the wedding party and the guests could really enjoy themselves. We also found ourselves with guests who had not RSVP'd and Julie was so quick in finding them seats and figuring out their situation. In addition, she accommodated all last-minute requests when possible and was always by our (the bride and groom's!) side when it came to minor issues on the wedding days--which was really appreciated! Julie also made sure we were fed and kept aside food and drinks for us while we were busy with pictures, greetings, and reception events. We were so thankful for that!
Overall, we would recommend Julie a thousand times over! We really felt she went above and beyond during the whole wedding process!! She was really the rock that grounded us during our weddings and we really needed her expertise during our planning phase. If you are looking for someone who has incredible wedding planning expertise in San Diego and who is an organized, prompt, professional, and kind wedding planner, then Julie really is the right pick. Thank you again Julie!

We feel so lucky to have had Julie as our day-of planner. From the moment we started working with her, Julie went above and beyond what we expected. She wasn’t just there for the day-of—she helped us so much in advance, asking all the right questions and catching things we didn’t even realize we missed. Her level of organization and attention to detail was incredible, but what truly stood out was how she made us feel completely attended to and cared for.
On our wedding day, Julie was a calming presence, handling every detail with such grace that we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment. Knowing she was in charge gave us so much peace of mind, and everything ran smoothly thanks to her expertise. We can’t thank Julie enough for being such a huge part of our special day, and we’d recommend her to anyone looking for a planner who is not only professional but genuinely cares about making your wedding perfect.

ulie took the stress out of wedding planning!!
Planning a wedding can be extremely overwhelming, so having an expert to rely on was worth every penny. Julie has years of experience in wedding planning which is shown through her knowledge of our venue, vendor recommendations, timelines and everything in between.
Weddings are quite the investment and having Julie help us along the way, made our wedding extremely special and better than we could have ever done ourselves.

This review is long overdue. Julie was our coordinator for my & my husband's 50th wedding anniversary on 11/05/2022. She was incredible throughout the entire process. I never got to have a big wedding or a reception with dancing for that matter, so really this was my chance at a big, beautiful wedding 50 years later! And Julie made it magical. She was there for every meeting, she worked with our vendors to make sure everything was taken care of, she had countless phone calls with us during the planning phase of the event, and she made our night so special. She helped out with every detail and didn't leave anything to chance. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect for me and my husband. She guided us through every step and was there for every question and every concern. She is so professional and has so many years of experience and it definitely shows. I remember there was a time during the reception when my dress got a bit messed up and my makeup was smearing because I was so sweaty from dancing and having a great time, that she took me to the bathroom and helped fix me back up! I don't know of any other wedding coordinator that would take the time to help the bride one-on-one to fix them back up...but Julie will! She strives to make everyone feel comfortable and to make sure everything goes off without the slightest hitch. She even helped me and my daughter out when we were taking care of payments to the catering vendors, when they were giving us a bit of a hard time. Julie has no problem stepping in and taking charge--exactly what you want in a wedding coordinator. She is amazing and I plan on using her for any parties we have in the future. Pick Julie...you will never regret it! She is incredible!

Julie is amazing!! She handled every detail from start to finish for my mom's super fun and memorable 50th wedding anniversary. Everything was seamless, from the calls with her & meeting with her during the pre-planning phase, to the walk throughs at the venue w/ her sharing her expertise regarding tables, linens, & seating arrangements down to the smallest details, to the amazing and fun night that we had! She handled everything so smoothly & was literally the glue that held us all together. She was available at all times & kept me abreast of everything happening. Even though she was in the background, we could not have pulled this huge party off without her...and in my opinion she should hold a front & center position as she was so instrumental to every single detail of the huge event. Our pictures turned out beautiful, the ceremony was amazing, & the reception was so much fun. Thank you Julie for all you do! You will be our contact for every party going forward!

Julie is the absolute best there is!! We hired her as a month-of wedding coordinator, but she did so much more than that! She accompanied us to vendor appointments and gave great advice all throughout the process. She helped manage our crazy families on our big day and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. We could not have planned our wedding nor would it have gone as smoothly without her! Thank you Julie!!

We are so happy that we went with Julie for our wedding planner. She helped so much with every big and small detail and resolved any problem that came up. She responded quickly any time we reached out. Julie is professional but so down to earth and kind. She’s been doing weddings for a long time and it shows, she knows what she’s doing! She truly helped make our day perfect we felt very confident and comfortable that she was handling everything. We have only good things to say about our experience and couldn’t recommend her enough. We are so grateful she was there and helped make our day perfect. We also went with her husband Mick as our DJ and we are so glad that we did that too.

The name says it all, if you want The Best Wedding for You, don’t start your wedding planning without Julie.

My husband and I are so happy our wedding went off without a hitch. We weren’t stressed at all thanks to all her help! We highly recommend hiring Julie Scrivener (and Mick Scrivener) for your wedding! 😊

She was so personable and sweet from the start. She is honest and dependable, and you won’t be disappointed if you hire her for your big day! She was easily the best decision I made for my wedding.

We hired Julie as our month-of coordinator for our wedding at the Darlington House on 9/29/23 and she was wonderful to work with! We loved that Julie had worked at the venue a ton before so she really knew it inside & out. You can tell that Julie has been in the business a long time which was super helpful. She was available to help answer all of our questions until she took over the coordination with all vendors the month prior and that took a lot off our plates. What I really appreciated about Julie was that she doesn't mess around. She knows her stuff, is quick to make decisions, she'll rally everyone together, she gets things done. Our day went off without a hitch, literally no issues and I think a huge part of that was because of Julie. She even kept her composure when some groomsmen ran off right before the ceremony to get pizza!! It was the best day of our lives, thank you Julie for everything!!!

This review is LONG overdue! We got married 7.4.2022 at Etherial Gardens but our original date was 2.25.2021. Due to the pandemic, we needed to reschedule our wedding date. Julie was amicable, professional, attentive, and willing to get on calls with us throughout the covid ordeal. What we loved about Julie is that although there was a long period between our original date and new wedding date, she was extremely organized with the original notes from the venue, us, and any discussions we had with the vendors. Plus, she has excellent relationships and connections with the local vendors. Julie doesn't play around either! She tells it how it is and won't sugarcoat things for you. She will let you know if something is a good idea or not but will always side with what you want as a couple.
The day of our wedding, we did not notice ANYTHING WRONG. If anything did happen, we weren't aware or she fixed it right away. She made the whole day flow flawlessly. I would HIGHLY recommend Julie as your wedding planner. We booked her for the month but honestly, the month service became almost a two year service commitment. She is reasonably priced for her years of expertise and you can't beat her price compared to other wedding planners that may offer less services in their packages. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND for booking her for the month of coordination service. I am a very hands on person so I loved planning my wedding but Julie was the icing on the cake I needed. That last month before your wedding, YOU WILL NEED HELP and of course, the day of your wedding. Our venue provided in-house event coordinators but Julie completed the team. Again, highly recommend Julie, from The Best Wedding For You in San Diego, CA for your wedding, whether it is for the month of coordination, month of coordination Plus, or a full service coordination. Oh and her husband is a DJ too!

In looking for a wedding planner for our wedding day, Julie Scrivener came highly recommended by our wedding venue, the Japanese Friendship Garden at Balboa Park. It was apparent from our first conversation that Julie was passionate and a seasoned veteran when it came to San Diego wedding planning. Her connections to fabulous vendors that she had built great relationships and repertoire with was an unparalleled asset when it came to planning our wedding. Julie was communicative, patient, kind and insightful through multiple COVID postponements from the start of planning our wedding in early 2019 to finally celebrating July 3, 2022. Julie particularly shined through on the day of our wedding - everything went smoothly and calmly, and Julie made sure that my husband & I were well taken care of. Thank you, Julie, for the years of planning and for being such an important part of our special once in a lifetime day!

Julie has to be the most talented wedding planner in the world. I cannot imagine having another planner for the most special day of our lives. Not only did she make our entire day function with no obstacles, but, she made the whole process of wedding planning so much fun. Julie is a master at her craft and worth so much more. She made sure we were living in the moment every second of the day with no worries and always stress free. It was the most beautiful day of my life and everything was absolutely perfect. My husband and I have an inside joke that "we wish Julie was handling this". Florida is so lucky she moved. We miss you Julie!

Julie is AMAZING and I highly recommend hiring her! We hired her for the month of plus wedding coordinator services and I’m so glad we did. She is very professional, attentive, responsive and communicated everything throughout the process and made it easy. She was always calm and made everyone feel at ease and we felt confident that the day would be seamless which it was! Our wedding day was perfect and if anything went wrong, we didn’t even know about it thanks to Julie! Julie is also very well connected within the industry and had a great list of recommendations for each vendor category. Every vendor I hired knew Julie and also had wonderful things to say about her and her services. Thanks Julie for making our wedding day so special and seamless! It was so wonderful working with you!!

Julie was fantastic! Our wedding was supposed to be in 2020 and then 2021 and then finally in 2022. She stuck around and restarted the processes every time and was always on the ball. She offered great suggestions when we were out of our element and rolled with any suggestions we had. My husband and I are serial procrastinators and she was able to make sure everything got done and gave us the pressure we needed to follow through. She also dealt with my mom who could be a lot. Truly an experienced, competent, and special planner. Highly recommend!

Julie is amazing on all fronts- organized, professional, knowledgeable. We did the month of coordinator. She is reasonably priced and as a couple made of graduate/medical students that was something important to us. She is also very nice and helpful. When our wedding was postponed twice (i.e. 3 different wedding dates) due to the covid pandemic, she was flexible and willing to continue to work with us. I will say to look at what the wedding coordinator option includes: we didn't realize that creating a layout of the venue (i.e. where tables, chairs, DJ, cake, buffet, etc.) was supposed to be completed by us and not her. (Thankfully she helped us create a layout as she knew the venue and was able to give her input!!) Only thing that probably could've been improved (and it's very minute) was the creating the "day of schedule" on word doc and having us edit and send to her... it probably would have been easier to create a google doc because then we could just comment/edit at the same time. But she's been in the business for 10+ years so she has a method that works for her! On the wedding day itself, Julie was very organized and if there were mini fires (or really any fires) we had no idea because she was able to handle it all so we could enjoy our wedding worry/stress free. Would 100% choose to work with Julie and recommend you all to do the same too!

Julie was the best part of planning our wedding, no doubt! She was prompt, professional, and attentive to our needs as a couple and as wedding planners. We had several specific needs that Julie went above and beyond to accommodate without question or added cost, her ability to adapt to whatever came up from us or vendors was incredible. She was always willing to meet via Zoom (due to the pandemic and distance between us) whenever needed with a smile. Dealing with vendors for the wedding she was always on top of the details and spared no effort in getting everything straightened out as soon as possible. We could not have done this wedding without Julie at our side the whole time, she was absolutely the valuable part of our planning phase!

Julie Scrivener is an outstanding wedding planner and did such a wonderful job with our August 2021 wedding! We interviewed a few planners and chose her, and are so glad we did. She was very professional, organized, detail-oriented and guiding without being pushy. She gave us endless direction, ideas, options, but always reminded us "this is your wedding so you can do whatever you'd like!" Our wedding day went perfectly thanks to Julie's organization, planning & hard work.
We also went with her "team" package and used her husband DJ Mick as our DJ. He is super entertaining and really had a knack for the small details that are involved in the vibe of the evening. They both really knew how to set expectations for our guests to let them know we were all going to have a blast!
5 stars plus!!!

I cannot say enough good things about our fairy godmother aka wedding planner Julie! Where do I begin. I grew up in San Diego and moved away after college but always dreamed about coming home to get married. I just want to say whether you are a local or long distance bride Julie goes above and beyond in every way to make your day the best it can be! Not only is she the sweetest lady but she truly cares about what she does. She starts about three months before your wedding with every referral you could possibly imagine! From our grooms cake to room blocks at Lowes for our out of town guests (including us). Then a month before she really gets into all the details including a four page information page where she goes over every possible detail she may need to know! From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave! She coordinated our entire timeline which was so difficult to nail down. She put out our name cards, and decorated our plates with cookies and custom m&m’s not to mention taking down our floral arch from our ceremony and putting it on our sweetheart table. We literally would not have been able to get married in my home town without Julie!. Julie I cannot thank-you enough for making this wedding one we will remember all our lives! I highly recommend her.

Julie is truly a life saver! By far the best money we spent on our wedding was having Julie help us with the entire planning process! She is worth every penny! We had a COVID-postponed wedding and would have been incredibly stressed if it wasn't for her amazing coordination! Throughout the 2-year long wedding process, she was always extremely responsive, organized and really helped us plan for things we never even considered! Especially on the wedding day, it was amazing how well everything was coordinated and she really helped to keep us on schedule. Julie also did so much behind the scenes to coordinate with our wedding vendors, which took everything off our plate! I truly recommend her services to everyone and highly recommend getting the full package! You won't be sorry!

My husband and I hired Julie (and Mick) for our wedding and we're so glad we did. Julie helped us with everything from sourcing and booking vendors to day-of coordination services. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and was an invaluable source of knowledge for us to draw on as we figured out different aspects of our wedding weekend. Julie did an amazing job juggling all the moving pieces leading up to (and on the day of) the wedding. On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly thanks to her attention to detail, professionalism, and poise. She even managed to help our groomsmen pull off a big last minute surprise without disrupting the flow of the wedding at all! Honestly, Julie is fantastic and I would highly recommend her. She'll make sure your day is flawless.

Julie was so incredible from start to finish! She always made us feel like we were her most important couple, and was quick and attentive wit her communications. She was able to recommend vendors within our budget for every aspect of our ceremony and even hung in there with us when we had to postpone for a year due to covid. On the day of our big event, everything went smoothly and perfectly. If there were any hiccups, we wouldn't have known because Julie kept everything moving on her end so we could just enjoy our day. I highly recommend her to anyone in San Diego looking for a wedding planner.

My husband and I both agree that hiring Julie was the best decision we made for our wedding. Looking back I have no idea what we would have done without her. We originally hired Julie for our 2020 wedding that due to the pandemic needed to be postponed to 2021. Once we made the decision to move our date Julie immediately contacted all our vendors and gave us new dates that worked for everyone. I head so many horror stories about couples trying to postpone but ours was so easy and that was all due to the hard work of Julie. You wouldn’t have even known it was her first pandemic!
Julie made every part of the process of planning our wedding easy. She has contacts with the best vendors, including her husband Mick who was our incredible DJ! Our wedding day was perfect and I didn’t need to think or stress about anything. Julie was incredibly organized and has her weddings down to a science. I can’t recommend her services enough!

She was also very sensitive to family member's safety concerns and came up with great ideas to keep everyone comfortable. The day of our wedding went so smoothly and everyone was able to relax and completely enjoy the day, all thanks to Julie!

Julie was the wedding planner for my sister’s wedding back in 2015. She did such an amazing job I knew that I knew I had to hire her as mine when I got married. During these Covid times, having a wedding planner is an absolute must. Julie was such a huge asset to me during the stress of planning this wedding. I am an anxiety ridden person and she helped me to calm down many different times. Even from the start I had an emotional breakdown deciding between two different venues. I sent an email to her late that night in tears and she immediately got back to me and gave all this great advice to help me make that big decision. We had to postpone our wedding and Julie was so helpful in coordinating with vendors to find a new date. She has so much knowledge and experience in the wedding business that she has many great suggestions and vendor contacts that will ensure your day turns out amazing. She is exceptionally organized and the materials she provides you will help you stay organized as well. She was a joy to work with the entire two years up until my wedding. Julie really shines though on the actual day of the wedding. If it wasn’t for her, I would have been a stressed-out mess. Even the morning of the wedding we had a groomsman and guests drop out and Julie took care of all the changes that needed to happen. I knew I could put all of my trust in her. We had a couple situations come up at the wedding and she quickly and quietly took care of these. She even bustled my dress for me when my mom and sister were having issues with it. I can’t stress how much of a relief it is to have Julie around on your big day. She is just fantastic. Even more so, she is married to an amazing DJ and they are the dynamic duo. I would definitely recommend Julie as your wedding planner and her husband Mick as the DJ for your wedding!

Where do I begin?! Julie is AMAZING! Prior to our wedding I had pretty much zero wedding experience so Julie had her work cut out for her with us! Haha She recommended a florist who we loved and helped set up everything like the photo booth and dessert! Julie is so organized and reliable. 2 things all brides can appreciate! She is also very kind and patient. Once the pandemic hit things were planned, replanned and replanned again but Julie was always there for us! She kept my sanity during a time of so much uncertainty with sticking to safe guidelines and keeping everyones health a top priority. In October 2020 we had a small, intimate ceremony which truly was the most beautiful, stress free, best day of our lives. We truly got to be in the moment. My husband and I could not have asked for a better wedding day. We highly recommend Julie! Thank you so much for everything!

Julie was great! She was super flexible during our stressful times of having a wedding during the pandemic and made our day flawless! It is absolutely necessary to have a day of coordinator- and Julie's services go well beyond that!! Thank you, Julie!!

I seriously do not know what I would have done without Julie. After having to postpone our date twice and change venues three times we decided to hire Julie to help us pull off our perfect day. She was so organized, professional and on top of everything. She thought of things I would never have even considered. We did our wedding on private property so no venue which mean we had to do it all and she seriously helped coordinate and pull everything together. If I had to give any bride any advice it would be to hire Julie!!! I couldn't stop telling my parents leading up to the day how thankful I was to have Julie in my life!!

Julie might be the perfect wedding planner; experienced, patient, full of ideas when you need them and supportive of yours when you don't. She listens, responds to emails promptly and has some great, easy-to-use tools to keep you on track. She knows the most reliable vendors in the business and every one we worked with was exceptional. We made big changes to the plans just 3 days before the wedding, moving the reception indoors due to weather, and it didn't phase her. She re-arranged the plans, and made the day seamless. Having her expertise on the day to coordinate all the vendors and keep the logistics of the party coordinated were simply invaluable; she gave me a priceless gift of being able to focus on my new husband, family and friends. Julie was the most important vendor at our wedding and I can't have imagined pulling it all off without her. Thank you Julie.

THANK YOU Julie at "The Best Wedding For You!"
A few words to describe Julie: considerate, experienced, professional, friendly, detail-oriented, empathetic, efficient, communicative, punctual, responsive, helpful, and resourceful.
Julie's month-of-coordination services was the perfect fit for our needs. I am comfortable with contracts, vendors, budgeting, and basic scheduling... but once our wedding was just 30 days away, knowing that Julie was in ultimate coordinator-mode over the details truly helped me relax and enjoy our once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
Julie was on the preferred vendor list for our venue, and she has absolutely earned her great reputation. One thing I particularly admired about how she works, is that she is an EFFICIENT COMMUNICATOR who is clear, concise, and friendly all at once. She is a calm, natural leader who knows all the ins and outs, and works amazingly well with every vendor to bring it all together. It is my impression that she approaches every wedding with great care, love, and respect.
My sweetheart (and now-wife!) and I had the wedding of our dreams. And we want to say THANK YOU Julie for all your help and support.
I would highly recommend her services.

I'll preface this with the fact that I am a psycho, type A, control freak and although I knew I needed help, I also knew it would be hard to give up control.
That being said, Julie was one of the better decisions we made when it came to vendors. This woman makes it look easy. She tackled every problem, every snag, every step of the wedding with ease. She managed every vendor, she brought the entire wedding to life. I was in awe at what she was able to accomplish, how smooth it went and how easy she made the day.
I was not an easy bride and Julie is an angel for managing my wedding! We had to move the reception indoors last minute and that was as easy as pie to Julie. Honestly, I never saw her sweat!
I would highly recommend Julie as your wedding planner. She brought my vision to life and I can't thank her enough!

I was on the fence about having a coordinator because I knew I’d be planning the wedding on my own and was confident in my ability. I decided to hire Julie as a day-of coordinator and I’m so happy with that decision. If you doubt your own ability to plan meticulous details, I’d even recommend hiring her for more than day-of. Julie is so professional, communicates well with very clear emails, and is incredibly responsive. She has thought of everything- things you’ll likely forget or overlook- and she gets things done. I was pretty stressed on my wedding day and it was such a relief knowing I had her to make sure things ran smoothly. She kept things on schedule at the reception, she boxed us up food to make sure we actually ate, and stayed at the end of the night to help us clean up and pack up all our things. I was so pleased with both her and her husband (elite British DJ) and feel like I chose so wisely with them as a pair. I’d recommend her without hesitation. Stop looking for a planner/coordinator- you just found the best!

Julie is so fantastic!!!! My mom and I had gone back and forth about if we needed a month-of coordinator, and luckily when we decided to hire one, Julie was still available! She made our wedding day run so smoothly, I can’t imagine having our wedding without her! She knew every detail about our wedding day like the back of her hand. We had a couple meetings with her beforehand, including one at our venue since she had never been there before and she wanted to make sure she was prepared.
On the day of our wedding, Julie was so amazing! She was great at making sure we both had everything we wanted and needed. She also wanted to make sure we were calm and not nervous all day as well! She did a fantastic job of making sure everything we brought to have her set out was done and in place when she got there. Julie was also great at making sure everybody was where they needed to be during our family photos. Even when my brother (who was walking my mom down the aisle) ripped his pants 20 minutes before the ceremony started, Julie remained calm and made sure we had a sewing kit to fix them.
I couldn’t imagine not having Julie at our wedding making sure everything was running smoothly! My mind was 100% at ease knowing Julie was taking care of everything!

Before even having our venue or official wedding date my husband and I knew without a doubt Mick & Julie would be our DJ and coordinator. We have been to countless weddings done by them and each and every one was so much fun, and everything ran so smoothly. They are PHENOMENAL. They are truly the dream team, and our wedding would not have been such a hit without them. If I could recommend 1 thing to anyone wedding planning it would book them now! You will not regret it!!!

Julie at The Best Wedding for You was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I could not have hosted such a beautiful wedding without Julie's help. Julie is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about weddings...from the planning and preparing, to the actual wedding day. She always had great advice, suggestions and ideas when I needed them. Julie's assistance in coordinating our vendors and the timeline for the wedding day was invaluable, as was her help with our dress rehearsal. Her assistance on the wedding day was fabulous! As the mother of the bride, I was able to relax and enjoy my daughter's wedding because Julie was there to take care of all the details, coordinated all the major events during the wedding, and handled any issues that came up during the wedding and got them resolved asap! Not only is she a true professional (responsive, timely, organized, pays attention to detail), but she has the perfect personality to take charge when necessary, in a caring and tactful way. I always felt secure and comfortable knowing Julie was there to help me any time I needed her, before or during the wedding. Our guests were so impressed with Julie's ability to multi task and make sure everything was just right, and be so much fun at the same time. I recommend Julie as your wedding planner/coordinator without any reservation! She is absolutely THE BEST!!

Julie was fantastic every step of the process. Over the course of the 9-month wedding planning process, I finished grad school, prepared for a board exam, and started a new job, and Julie kept everything wedding-related running smoothly while still checking in at every step to make sure that the day was exactly what we wanted--and it was! Julie is an invaluable resource for everything from vendor referrals to creating the perfect timeline. I am not great at event planning, and Julie really helped ask the right questions to make sure that my husband and I had a really special day. The day of, she truly went the extra mile to make the day run seamlessly. Julie is the best!

We used Julie's month-of-coordination services for our wedding, and we could not be happier that we did! We spoke with several coordinators before making our decision, but once we spoke with Julie, we knew immediately she was the right choice!
Beginning a month before the wedding (when our contract started), I found Julie to be incredibly detail oriented, very responsive, and full of great ideas and advice! During the planning process, Julie thought of details I would have not have thought about otherwise. She created a the perfect timeline for the wedding - we would have been at a total loss in this area without her expertise. Our timeline was tight since we did not do a first look, but Julie was able to prioritize sunset photos and fit in all our wedding day events seamlessly even when our wedding fell 10 mins behind. Because of Julie, we did not have to worry about details and we could enjoy our wedding without stress. We thank Julie so much for her hard work and attentiveness. We had the most beautiful and perfect day thanks to her!

The Best Wedding for You is a 10/10 I cannot explain what a life saver Julie was. She knows amazing vendors and will lead you in the right direction. On the day of the wedding we did not have to worry about anything and all of my bridesmaids were so impressed by her! I would HIGHLY recommend using Julie! (And her husband Mick is an amazing DJ!)

I don't know what else to say about Julie short of that she's an AMAZING WONDER WOMAN. Hiring Julie for the month leading up to my wedding was hands down the best thing I could have done. Without her, I feel as though I wouldn't have been able to be the cool, calm, and collected bride I was on my wedding day. Julie was totally on it from the get go- she made sure my wedding went on without a hitch even though we had a chance of rain. Compliments galore of how perfect my wedding looked and how smoothly my wedding went- from aesthetics to timing, etc. The biggest compliment I received from people was that my wedding was so relaxed and that they felt like they really were on vacation. In addition to Julie's help on the big day, she helped me pull off the very difficult task of surprising my fiance with an art show the night before. Julie was super helpful in executing such a fun event for all our guests. The way she put everything together and coordinated pickups of items was a slam dunk! If you're looking for someone who can take your vision and execute it without stress and with ease, Julie is your gal!

Julie absolutely was the best!! Cannot thank her enough for all the help she was on our special day! We got married 4/27/19 at Kona Kai! We had a bridal/groom party of 5 each and 100 guests. I had a lot of decor and had made my own centerpieces. She set up everything perfectly. The whole day was executed just right with getting everyone where they needed to be guests seated and the bridal party ready to go. Everything was brought back to my room afterwards and I didnt have to worry about a thing. It was such a chaotic day and I am truly grateful to have such an organized and great coordinate to execute to the day! Everything looked amazing for the ceremony and reception and I would highly recommend Julie for your wedding! She rocks:)

A true professional as a wedding coordinator!
We chose a combination package with Wedding Coordinator and DJ team. It was the best decision for us because they worked very well together and gave us great advice on how to carry out our wedding plans. As you can imagine, there were plenty of snags to deal with as we closed in on our special day. But, Julie was very helpful with rehearsal in putting our minds at ease and to carry out final details. We asked quite a lot for Julie to do in a short period of time based on what the wedding venue allowed. Julie and her assistant were able to fulfill our vision of how we wanted our plans for wedding decorations carried out. Cannot say enough positive things about her professionalism and the extra care that Julie put into making ours a very special wedding from the beginning to the very end. Thank you, Julie, for making ours a very special day!

Julie is amazing! She knows her stuff and helped us create the Wedding Event of the Season. From the very start we knew she was the right choice for our Daughter's December 2018 Wedding. The questions she asked, her experienced guidance and follow-up were amazing. Every detail was planned and executed perfectly. She made it look so easy and was able to keep everything on track and perfectly timed. She was a great partner to me (Mother of the Bride) and made sure everything was exactly as we wanted it to be. I highly recommend her and her husband Mick (the Elite British DJ), they were the perfect choice and we could not be happier with their service!

We cannot imagine having the amazing wedding that we did without Julie. She was patient, responsive, detailed, supportive, knowledgeable, and held our hands through the entire experience. Our only regret is that we won't get a chance to work with her again. Our wedding would not have been as stress free and enjoyable for us as the wedding couple without Julie. We highly recommend her to anyone searching for a coordinator and highly recommend her to anyone that is not.

Julie Scrivener at the Best Wedding for You was so wonderful to work with. I met her through her husband Mick (DJ with Elite British DJ) and I couldn't be happier and more thankful that I worked with this husband, wife duo. They make everything so easy and fun and your day is truly stress free!
Julie and I met for the first time to just go over basic logistics and to see what services I needed. She has a survey/questionnaire to fill out which helped me get a better idea of what she would be doing for my wedding (the day of and services I needed prior). She's super super organized (I really don't know how she does this job!!), emails my vendors when I have a question, answers all my questions in a timely manner, and then went with me to go through florals and food tasting.
Julie has a website you can use to keep everything organized and tasks she gives you to make sure you're on track and also had a list of vendors if I needed anything. I ended up using her hair and make up recommendation along with her floral rec and I'm so glad I did. I planned my wedding in about 4 months, but I really feel like I only spent about a month or even less, actually needing to do things for my wedding. I just put my trust into Julie and everything got done or she told me what to do and it was just so easy! The day of my wedding was absolutely stress free and I have Julie to thank for that. If you want someone who knows the industry, gets the job done, is so much fun to work with, and doesn't give you any stress during the process then Julie is your gal!! I got so many compliments about my wedding and everyone had so much fun!

Words can't even begin to describe how amazing Julie was. We had a complex traditional Indian wedding with and involved parents, and Julie did such a great job of making sure everyone felt important, but that we (as the bride and groom) ultimately got what we wanted. This was a destination wedding for us and Julie let us ship a bunch of stuff to her house months before. We wanted a coordinator who was polite ,but also not afraid to be assertive to guests so we could have everything go on time and as schedule - Julie did exactly that. The whole day went smoothly and ON TIME (which rarely happens at Indian weddings!) and this couldn't have happen without Julie. Best decision we made.

If I could give Julie more than 5 stars I absolutely would. She is so incredibly knowledgeable, willing and wanting to help in anyway possible, extremely professional, and I have no doubt in my mind that she was the reason our wedding turned out perfectly. She helped my husband and I plan our wedding in no more than four months, and I wouldn't have changed a thing about it. She recommended multiple vendors to us (everyone of which we were extremely pleased with), worked with our odd schedules, and kept us informed about every detail. She put so much time and effort into making sure our wedding was ABSOLUTELY perfect, and it was. She removed a majority (if not all) of the stress that comes with planning a wedding, and my husband and I never once worried about whether or not any details were being overlooked or missed as she took care of everything. Julie is absolutely incredible and is amazing at what she does! :)
